KF8KK's Secret
Revealed

3/25/04

Today, the secret of Johnny, KF8KK's (alias Corky) super
mobile signal from Phoenix, Arizona was revealed. Many regular check ins
to the Wednesday evening 40 meter net had suspected that John was experimenting
with something new when his mobile signal nearly doubles in signal strength one
evening during the sked. After being asked what was going on, Johnny
commented that he "was trying out his new screwdriver antenna
design!" "It is a bit unusual, but it really, really
works!" KK, an experimenter from way back is always trying to improve
upon an idea. Judging from his signal strength on 40 meters, he has been
successful again in making an improvement to an already existing product.
Johnny's close friend, Ham Hock, commented saying "I would not be surprised
what that young man could make a living selling ducks on the Internet! He
is very talented!"

Below is a snap shot of Johnny's new screwdriver antenna.

According to Ron, W6KJ, it looks as though Johnny might have a
handle on the problem!
